  • Patent number: 10828377
    Abstract: An object of the present invention is to provide a method for determining whether a subject suffers from malignant lymphoma or leukemia and an agent for treating and/or preventing the disease. The present invention relates to a method for assisting in determining whether a subject suffers from, or is likely to suffer from malignant lymphoma or leukemia, comprising: a detection step of detecting at least one of a fusion mutation of a DUX4 gene, an overexpression of a DUX4 gene, and a fusion mutation of an MEF2D gene; and a determination step of determining that the subject suffers from or is likely to suffer from the disease when at least one of the fusion mutations or the overexpression is detected. Moreover, the present invention relates to a pharmaceutical composition comprising a DUX4 inhibitor as an active ingredient, for treating and/or preventing malignant lymphoma or leukemia in a subject having a fusion mutation of a DUX4 gene and an IGH or IGL gene and/or overexpression of a DUX4 gene.

  • Patent number: 6944484
    Abstract: A microphone is arranged on the first surface of a first housing, which opposes a second housing in a close state. A first speaker is arranged on the second surface of the second housing, which opposes the first surface in the close state. A second speaker is arranged on that surface of the first or second housing, which is exposed to the outside in the close state. A detector detects whether the first and second housings are in the close state. When communication is being executed, the state of the first speaker when the first and second housings are not in the close state is a valid state, and the close state is detected by the detector, a control section invalidates both the microphone and the first speaker and validates the second speaker.
